Dear Sr:
It has been brought to my attention that last September 10 the Federal Communications Commission granted to the State of Arizona a license to construnt a dam across the Colorado River in Marble Canyon, above Grand Canyon National Park. It is my understanding its purpose is to furnish water to cotton land in the Salt River Valley around Phoenix.
It seems to me this would reduce the water available to turn the turbines of Hoover Dam and go into the Los Angeles Metropolitan Aqueduct, the All-American Canal to the Imperial Valley and even the already thirsty Baja, California, besides ruining a beautiful area of the Grand Canyon which should be in the National Park.
The City of Los Angeles has an abaurd proposal to create a 47-mile diversion tunnel around the Grand Canyon to a Powerhouse at Kanab Creak and thereby causing the Colorado River through this area to practically dry up.
Downstream from Grand Canyon National Park the Bureau of Reclamation is planning the Bridge Canyon Dam. It will flood over one hundred miles of the Grand Canyon, including some of the world's most beautiful natural wonders and even extend up to Grand Canyon National Park. The dam, acceas roads and activity would sorely deface the Canyon.
To anyons who knows the Grand Canyon, it is an intelerable affront to the people of the United States to construct any dam in the canyon. Besides destroying unmatched beauty, downstream users would suffer look of power output from thrifty Hoover Dam, if only because of increased water lose to the atmosphere.
The cost for such projects would not only appear to be staggering, but a waste of the taxpayers' money. With the above conclusions, I urge you to oppose any construction of dams in Marble Canyon and the Grand Canyon.
Sincerely,
Robert L. Gregg.
